Also, they can raise them and point to tariffs as the cause, even if it’s a flat-out lie, because consumers are largely incapable/too lazy to know for sure. And materials subjected to 25% tariffs will nonetheless rise in price by > 30%, because again, consumers largely suck at math and dont care enough to crunch the…

Fun Fact: Tariffs cause non-impacted products to raise their price because they can raise them and still be cheaper.

So interesting thing about this one - the ATC recording is already making the rounds of the interwebs. The tower had no idea about the crash until an airplane that had just gotten cleared to takeoff behind them advised the tower that they were stopping on the runway. The tower asked “why”, and they replied “there’s a…

My wife drives our 2015 Titanium 5 door with CVT and its been great. Extended warranty on the transmission definitely helps with peace of mind, but overall performance of the car and the transmission itself has been fine. Love that little thing.

Ford Focus owner here. I’ve had a 2012 that I leased for 3yrs and zero issues with the DCT. Returned that and then 4yrs ago picked up a used 2014 5door Titanium with Sport package. It only had 30K on the clock when I bought it and sure enough at 40K (last year right after letting my new driver daughter have it) the…

How dare you say that about the Goddess!  

This is the problem that “SCIENCE” has. The actual, painstaiking work that constitutes actual scientific research is given equal footing with people who “googled some shit and skimmed a link or two” in the media. News organizations need to be clear about the difference between actual science and “some guy just googling…

Perhaps the AI that wrote this was asked to come up with a topical reference, and that was the best it could do.

Even the one under the hood has left the chat and is ready for the rendering truck.

I use to live in Silicon Valley (and I’m happy to have left!) and the ‘dump tesla’ trend has been happening for YEARS now —I had friends calling the Model S the “Camry of Palo Alto” before the Model 3 was even released. After a couple years, the Model 3 became so cheap that it was basically an anti-status symbol for…

You're conflating "tech bros" with "people who live in the bay area." The tech bro ethos is 100% compatible with Musko. People, on the other hand, have had it with his shit.

Tesla owners are denying Elon now? Who do they think they are, his kids?!

It finally lived out its Italian destiny.

Tesla’s whole business model is beta testing everything to paying customers.

Tesla didn’t want to be outdone by Ford, I guess.

This car is an interesting industrial case study in how much you can use your customers as beta testers. Between the pedal slipping, the wheel covers destroying tires (indicating less than a couple hundred miles of road testing before sale), bad build quality, etc, this has to be the single most unprepared automobile…

I don’t think I’ve done either of those things you’ve accused me of in this article.
